"You pay taxes with invisible money? Not even paper – invisible money?" Hatter leaned over her shoulder and frowned.

"Yes. It all gets taken out of my bank account.” Alice paused, considering. “Except for what they withheld each month already."

"So. You're paying with money that you've never seen, which you never really had to begin with," said Hatter, with the air of someone dealt a winning hand.

“I still have to pay it,” said Alice, smiling up at him. He flipped his hat onto her head, grinning unrepentantly, and kissed her as it fell over her eyes.

Aren't you ashamed of your bad influence? ♥

[ignipes.livejournal.com]

Not at all! VERY. Very ashamed, yes.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

I can tell. The glee really conveys that "Forgive us our trespasses" vibe ;)

I really love this -- Hatter being adorable, the absurdity inversion (the Real World being weirder than Wonderland), and most especially the very last image, which makes me want to draw hearts all around them. :D ♥ ♥ ♥

Awww, you're my favorite twin ♥

:DDD How did I not know you have seen this?! <3

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

It only happened on Friday! It's all so sudden!

Thank you!

Love Hatter. Just put it into perspective for all us normal, "sane" people.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I'm so glad you liked Hatter - he has such a distinctive style, and I was worried about capturing it.

[klcthebookworm.livejournal.com]

*Snicker* I can't wait to see what he makes of election insanity.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

I think he'll be surprised at the (relative) lack of bloodshed. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Aw. Cute moment between them. I get weirded out by the concept of invisible money, too.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I just couldn't resist, after his reaction to paper money.

[sobsister.livejournal.com]

Adorable! Playing with hats certainly improves economic theory.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Hatter probably believes that playing with hats improves everything.

Awesome! Now I wish I had seen the good version.

Also, my dad just gave me permission to take permanent possession of our family copies of S1 and S2 of Life.

Also also, I love your layout. Did you make that background image yourself? Can you help me make my journal pretty?

Also also also, if you come over to my house right now and beautify my online presence I will feed you and give you S2 and S3 of buffy.

Check your email ;)

Yay, Life! Dude, call me when you hit the series finale. You'll know why.

My layout is actually one of LJ's standard layouts. It's called Draft Blue. There's one with the same design in greyscale, and lots of other shiny layouts if you go to the top bar and select Journal -> Journal Style.
